Hi Joanna, I'll put your name on my list too for future OS events. I'm in Ottawa but I get requests from many places. We might connect close to Clagary where you are.
Last week in an OS of 90 people a young women in her learning phase came in the role of assistant. She had read the book and we had met briefly. I'll soon be coaching her in preparation of her first OS at which I will be her assistant. It's exciting for me too. Another colleague who took the training recently will be assisting me shortly. It's with a group of 50. She is looking at it to solidify the training she had and the experience she's building gradually. It's great to work with like minded people.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions so far. I knew if I just put it out to the list, things would come back. I have had a couple of promising leads and will put your idea to my main sponsor today, Catherine. I like it because it gets things moving at my workplace sooner. As it is, I have already opened space in the classroom several times so I'm confident with a small group already and ready for the challenge. Thanks also for reminding me to update my website. I live in Calgary, Alberta now! Due to organizational policy, trips to other places in Canada are easier to get approved than those to the USA or elsewhere. Can you see the need for OS already?!

Joanna, what if you did it anyway and had someone mentor you? I just made a great experience in that this year, and it worked fine. You need to be responsible for the process, and have an experienced OSnik coach you in the process of preparation as well as happening whenever you have a question.

Oktober 2006 02:27 Betreff: Can you help? I am thrilled to say that my proposal to use OS to facilitate a major change initiative where I work is building up some steam. The feedback is that they are interested and want me to get some more experience, before running a pilot OS with the "change team", and eventually a huge big organization-wide plus stakeholders OS. The idea is that I find an OS event in Canada that is willing to have me as an assistant. My preference would be a multiple-day event with a large number of people (200+) that is happening whenever and wherever it starts. The theory is that this would allow me to see an experienced facilitator work and get comfortable with procedure. Also I think it might be a bit of an insurance policy for the organization. Any OSers out there have a Canadian gig coming up soon, and would be willing to help out? If so, please email me at j...@lionlifecoaching.com .
